I know the media will never understand this but this moment right now, with Bernie trashing his own supporters is exactly why he lost. He was more committed to maintaining power for Dems than claiming it for his own movement.

I kind of remember a time when I thought she had good observations.
Had to make an Albertson’s run today and one thing they’re doing now is making all the aisles “one way” with stickers on the floor marking the direction for that aisle.
I got to say “Sir,” and point it out to one guy who was coming at me the wrong way. He looked at me like I was a huge asshole and just starred back like “Yep, I am, that’s how it works now bud.”

To no one in particular: my Costco run was surprisingly stress free and there was plenty of toilet paper. Went around 5PM.
Felt bad for the workers in general and the cashiers in particular. On my way in, one guy asked one employee if he had to wear a mask, despite the fact it’s been hammered home time and again by Gov. Murphy and every news outlet in NJ. The woman calmly said “Yes”. I don’t know how she didn’t strangle him with a family pack of Kirkland dish rags right then and there.
The cashier stations have all been fitted with giant plexiglass shields. Just a grim reminder of what we’re dealing with.
re: #11 Mattand
I paid my first visit to the in-town liquor store on Monday night, last night. They had Plexiglas shields hung over the two cashier’s stations. The guy working the counter took the time to wait for me to roll the bar codes on the items I was buying to face him so he could scan them without touching. It just kind of drove the whole thing home; for a major chain like the gas station nearby, sure, that makes sense, but… the local hometown liquor store, owned and run by personal friends? Dude, it’s real now.

I might be headed to Wegman’s tomorrow to pick up the stuff Costco doesn’t have and I’ll be done for the next two weeks. Last I heard, the one by me was limiting people to 25 total in the store. Which, given your average Wegs, is a lot of elbow room.
Gov. Murphy has since ordered that store can only allow in half their mandated capacity, I believe Wegmans has also gone one way aisles as well.
We keep checking on curbside pickup but I think it’s booked through 2028. Should be interesting

Yeah, that’s the view on the ground that the fuckup in the White House will never see, let alone understand. Hope they’re doing okay.
What state are you in, if you don’t mind sharing? Liquor store are open here in NJ, but I believe they’re closed in PA. At least the state-run deals where you can only get wine or liquor; beer is at separate distributorships, and I’m too lazy to check to see what their deal is.
PA has very weird liquor laws. Makes us look quasi-sane; some supermarkets in NJ were finally allowed to start selling booze a few years back.

There’s a surprising amount of blue laws still on the books here in South Jersey. They’re usually Quaker-founded towns, possibly by people migrating from Philly. One example is Haddonfield. Dry as a bone, seven days a week for over 200+ years. There’s a pub in next door Haddon Twp/Westmont whose parking lot sits right on the border of the two. Like, stand in the parking lot in Westmont and stick your arm into Haddonfield.

Minnesota is a weird kind of progressive-hipster chic. The state has been blue as the Duke Devils for a generation or more, but yet the laws of religious convenience that have played to Lutheran sensitivities have been largely ignored until recently, such as the ban on Sunday liquor sales. With that aside, it is a certainty that our current administration in St. Paul has been an absolute thorn in the side of the administration in Washington, D.C., and you can bet your life that 3M’s tepid response to the President*’s DPA demand was coordinated with the Governor’s office at the top of the hill on Robert St.
I look forward to when the results of this are available; sounds like the intention is to have the data out in about two weeks.

re: #9 Anymouse 🌹🏡
My ancestors survived the bubonic plague by having excess iron stored in their body:
Yersinia pestis, like other iron-hungry bacteria, thrives in an iron rich environment. And it is thus postulated that young Europeans who were not yet stricken by the later problems of hemochromatosis were able to fend-off the bubonic plague by absorbing all of the iron and keeping it in cells, leaving little for the pathogen.
This survival advantage during the plague is thought to be responsible for the current high rates of the mutation in those with European ancestry. If true, this mutation may have been responsible for an increased survival during the plague, but at the cost of a decreased life expectancy for them later on.
Research suggests that vitamin D could play a role in the prevention and treatment of a number of different conditions, including type1 and type 2 diabetes, hypertension, glucose intolerance, and multiple sclerosis.
That being said I better go stock up on Vitamin D gummies, there’ll be a run. Don’t bother looking for elastic either.

That honestly seems to be it. They just never seem to quite grasp the implication or irony of it when this is what they go for. Like…I will never quite understand how Phyllis Schlafly managed to create a career out of telling women as a whole that they shouldn’t have careers, or as a woman who tried to get women to vote on the idea that women didn’t deserve the vote.
The Bernie cult is turning on…Bernie. This was all predictable. Imagine if he won and had to be diplomatic? This is exactly how they’d behave. Thankfully, the majority of his supporters and fans aren’t like this. Just ignore them. Mobilize the majority.

A thought about Bernie and his now-ex-followers, before heading upstairs to another night of fitful sleep and bizarre dreams, because that’s life now, apparently:
A “leader” who only enjoys the slavish devotion of his followers until the moment he tries to make them take an uncomfortable step… isn’t really that great a “leader,” is he?
On the other hand, I’d rather have the relatively insignificant “problem” of a fairly small minority of LWNJs disowning Sanders and having impotent hissy fits online, as opposed to the much bigger and very real problem of all the RWNJs who will follow the Orangeanus past any shred of logical inconsistency or any break from earlier “principles.”
